That explains a lot about your interpretation of the film. Was it the head injury that turned all your text magenta? Kind of like in The Wizard of Oz, or Blazing Saddles when everything suddenly switches to color? (Though the latter hardly bears mentioning in this thread!)

I didn't see it, but considering the robots never go on a rampage in any of Asimov's stories, and "I, Robot" is the title of a collection of short stories, not a novel or individual story, I thought it was pretty clear that they'd made the whole thing up. I can only imagine the fuss Asimov would have put up if he'd been alive, given the stink he made at the premiere of 2001 over HAL's actions.
